View of Wilfred Thesiger's travelling ... IraqView of Wilfred Thesiger's travelling party trekking through the Ramlat ar Rabbad sands. Two groups of Bedouin men and camels walk along a low dune ridge in a vast desert landscape. Low sand dunes stretch out into the distance in every direction. Due to the nature of these images, prints will reproduce any signs of age, wear or damage that occurred before they were archived by the Pitt Rivers Museum.
